THE HERALD ARTICLES.
Origin of Their Circulation I'm
California.


SAN Francisco, October 10.-The
controversy and criticism INDUCED in
by certain papers over the dissemina-
ton of the New York Herald articles
respecting Southern California has an
absurd sequence. The statement that
the article in question, which pre-
dicted the downfall of Los Angeles,
San Diego and other Southern Cali
fornia cities, was handled by the Asso-
ciated Press, proves to be without
foundation. No mention of any kind
has ever appeared in either the East
ern or Pacific coast dispatches of the
Associated Press about the sub
ject directly or indirectly. The de-
famatory article was brought to this
city as copyrighted" special by the
association known as the
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATED PRESS,
and was printed on September 28th,
and September 29th. Its dissemina-
tion was confined to the three
or four papers served by that
association. The associated press pa
pers were not burdened with word
of the creed. The criticisms which
have been made by the few California
associated press papers therefore ap-
ply only to their own service which
has the sole credit of handling the de-
famatory New York article, and now
that the facts are known, it is to be
trusted that. they appreciate it. They
have been hoisted by their own petard.

AN OFFICIALS STATEMENT.
HOMOGENEOUS NIORHONS.
They Are Prepared to Abrosate
POlygamy.

POlygamy.
WASHINGTON, October 10.-The fol-
lowing is more complete abstract OF
the minority report of the Utah Com
missioners than the one previously
sent. The report, after quoting the
sections on the proposed constitution
relating to. polygamy, says: MANY
Gentiles in Utah claim that this anti
polygamy movement is all sham, but
we do not think 80. After careful,
impartial investigation and considera-
ton our conclusion is that whatever
may be their motives, and whether
they are influenced by choice or ne
cessity, the generality Of homogeneous
Mormons, who are more than three
fourths of the Mormon population, have
deliberately and wisely resolved that
their highest earthly interests, pros
perity, the happiness vf themselves
and their posterity, and the advance
of the odium which is attached to
them throughout the civilized world
demand that polygamy shall be abol-
ished. The Mormons have been led
to believe that if the practice OF polyg-
amy shall actually and in good faith
be abolished, Congress will no further
pursue them with hostile legislation, /,
and that their religious faith will not
be the subject of legal animadversion
or discrimination. If the premises are
granted (namely, bona fide abrogation
OF polygamy) their conclusion is inn
pregnable upon well settled principles
and precedents."

DENVER, OCTOBER, 1O.-A Trinidad
special to the Republican says:
A brutal murder occurred here ear
ly this morning over which there is
considerable excitement and talk Of
lynching the guilty party. James
Redmond and Joe Mcnamara came
from the country yesterday, began
drinking heavily, and the spree was
kept up until two this morning, when
both almost dead-drunk, started for
the boarding house contrary to the
desire of Redmond, who wanted to
continue the debauch. Ascending the
stairs they made SO much noise that
the proprietor told them they must be
quiet, or leave the house Redmond
grabbed McNamara's coat collar as he
started down, pulling the latter after
him. When about half way down
McNamara pulled Redmond's head
back with his right hand, and with
the left drew razor across his throat
almost severing his head. Redmond
died in few minutes. The murderer
was arrested and Jailed. When sober
today, he denied knowing anything
about the crime.

Associated Press Dispatches TO the Herald |
SANTA Rosa, OCTOBER 10.-A fierce
forest fire which has been raging east
of this city for the last forty-eight
hours has laid waste stretch of coun-
try twenty miles in length. Between
four hundred and five hundred men
have been engaged in combating the
f1am es since morning, and it is now
reported under control as far as the
ranches in the Los Guilicos valley are
concerned. The fire is now raging in
the Rincon valley, and the heavens
are lurid with the glare. The town
has been filled with smoke all day and
the air is sitting and oppressive.
HOMES LAID WASTE.
A number of families are reported
to have been burned out with the total
loss of their houses, barns and con-
tents. The ranches of VIM. Hood, J. X.
Luttrell, w. B. Atterbury and Henry
Bolle were more or less seriously dam
aged by fire, the buildings being saved
by back firing and other methods OF
combating the flames. The report
that f. Wendell and H. Mulz had
perished in the flames proved without
foundation. The fate of the small
farmers and their farms further up in
the mountains cannot be ascertained.
HEAVY LOSSES.
In the Los Guilicos valley men
toned above, miles of fences, hay and
timber are destroyed. 1t is impossi-
BILE to estimate the loss with any de-
gree Of certainty. Some place the
loss at $500, 900, others at 100000.
Nearly hundred men of this city
fought the flames all day. At late
hour the fire is still burning at the
Hood mountain, at the head of the
Santa Rosa and Wasp Nest creek, and
near the petrified forest.
OTHER CONGREGATIONS.
Fires are also burning in Knights
valley, one on Mount st. Helena and
at Skcggs Springs. If these fires
unite, the flames will have traversed
so or 40 miles.

CALCUTTA, October 1O.-Dhuleep
Singh has written letter to the native
papers OF India, in which he says that
England has offered him 9250. 900 in
settlement OF his claim against the
governments, on condition that he
would not go to India. He rejected
the offer. His arrest at Aden, he
said, converted his loyalty to bitter
hatred Of England. He has solemnly
vowed to devote his whole life to free
ing his country from the British yoke.
He declares that he will serve his new
sovereign, the Shah, with his Lies
blood. 1t is expected that the latter
will induce the journals published in
Indian vernacularto make combined
attack on British rule.

LONDON, October lO.-The Post,
commenting on the fisheries dispute,
says: "The main contention of the

traoiction to any such principle of in
terstate comfy or treaty rights. Brit
ish vessels have been arrested far out

fined and the crews imprisoned, Ves-
